    I clicked on this video to look at the capsule hotel but I left feeling very nostalgic. I stayed in Kyoto for 6 years before I moved to the Tohoku region a few months ago. That sidewalk along Karasuma Gojo with the McDonald's, Yayoiken and Yoshinoya (and Coco Ichiban Curry is also there too!) brought back tons of memories as I spent quite a huge chunk of my life in Kyoto walking around that area. I chuckled when you got lost trying to find Yasaka Pagoda. I totally could relate as I am a photographer and that area around Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka were my favourite place to go for taking photos. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I might just stay in that capsule hotel after all just for that nostalgic feels (:

It's more that the way they raise and farm their chickens results in eggs that have much less risk of salmonella from being consumed raw. If you raise your own chickens in a nice environment (and don't do it like the factory farms), then you should be able to eat their eggs raw too.

There are some thefts, but usually tourists. Some cultures are actually better at certain things. Japan is a homogeneous country. Something like 98% of the population are native Japanese. It is an ancient culture with very little dilution, unlike the US. That being said, it comes at a cost. They follow the rules, but they aren't exactly dancing in the streets with joy. Depression and social isolation are serious concerns.

Plus, it’s not a walkable place for the most part. Transportation infrastructure here is poor as well.

Even in "my" capsule everything shone from cleanliness and there were lots of digital gudgets.

    My husband and I stayed at the Pocket Hotel near Nishiki Market when we went to Kyoto and it was nice! We did a split stay between it and a business hotel near Kyoto Station. I made the business hotel the second stop because I figured it would be harder for us to switch from a large room to a small one, but my husband actually liked the Pocket Hotel better because it was such a good value. I would recommend it to any couples or solo travelers who don't need a ton of space. There's more than enough to do in Japan, so hanging out in your room while awake just doesn't make a lot of sense anyway.

    That's very nice. I think I'd love to stay in such a place when travelling. The fact that the capsule has a window to the outside makes it very amicable. When I stayed in Taiwan I was worried, even a relatively large room with no window at all, I feel claustrophobic. But a tiny room and a little window, no problem. Although just one night only for sleeping, a room or a capsule with no window might be totally fine, just like an executive suite, Q Suite or private first class suite on a plane.

    I dont know where you are from but hotel/food/public transport in Japan is a lot cheaper than it is in Europe especially the Netherlands. Cheaper public transport is a bit slower and you can have good meals for $5. It is not as expensive as it used to be in the 80-90 ties and you dont need to go on vacation as a backpacker or student either because that is even half that price, including an avarage hotel I spend max $100 a day but if I wanted I could do $60-70.

Locker room showers are fine with me. I lived in the dorms for 3 years in college. All restrooms were common areas. I will admit a toilet and sink inside the room and maybe a TV would be nice add on. Great idea for solo travelers. Bring them to the US. I think with a little tweeking many of us who have to stay overnight in a different city would really use this.
